Quality Leak Detection Services
Advanced Acoustic Detection
We continuously invest in the latest acoustic leak detection technology to stay on the cutting edge and ensure accurate, actionable results. High-sensitivity ground microphones and professional noise correlators are not simple listening devices — accurate leak detection requires experience interpreting sound patterns, pipe materials, system pressure, soil conditions, and background noise. We use advanced acoustic equipment to help pinpoint leaks in pressurized pipes beneath slabs, roads, and soil, supporting clear repair decisions with minimal disruption.
Thermal Imaging, Building Envelope, Radient Flooring
FLIR thermal cameras help reveal moisture migration behind walls, floors, ceilings, and building envelope assemblies without drilling unnecessary holes. Thermal imaging is not just pointing a camera at a surface — accurate leak detection requires experience interpreting temperature patterns, moisture behavior, building materials, and environmental conditions. We use professional FLIR thermal technology to help distinguish meaningful evidence from normal temperature variation, providing accurate, actionable findings that support clear repair decisions.
Tracer Gas Injection, Leak Detection and More
Non-toxic tracer gas testing with precision analyzers allows us to locate leaks that cannot be heard, making it ideal for quiet, deep, or difficult plumbing leaks. This is not a simple “inject and sniff” process. Because tracer gas can travel through pathways created by the leak, accurate leak detection requires experience, proper interpretation of the readings, and professional-grade equipment. We use only high-quality tracer gas technology and advanced sensors to provide accurate, actionable leak locations — never gimmick equipment or inferior detectors.
Ground-Penetrating Radar Services & Utility Location
GPR helps map subsurface conditions, utility pathways, and moisture-affected zones without disturbing the surface above. Ground penetrating radar is not a simple scan-and-mark process — accurate interpretation requires experience understanding soil conditions, surface materials, buried utilities, voids, and subsurface anomalies. As the only leak detection company in Colorado using this technology as a diagnostic tool for leak detection, we combine advanced GPR equipment with the knowledge needed to interpret the data accurately, reduce unnecessary excavation, and support clear repair decisions.
Commercial Leak Detection & Fire Line Leak Specialists
Commercial leak detection requires more than basic listening or isolated testing. Water main leaks, fire line detection, and large-area leak correlations often involve complex piping layouts, long service runs, unknown materials, and high-demand systems. We use advanced leak detection equipment and proven diagnostic methods to evaluate commercial buildings and industrial sites accurately, helping locate hidden leaks, reduce downtime, minimize unnecessary excavation, and support clear repair decisions.
Plumbing Smoke Testing & Sewer Camera Inspection
Sewer and drain diagnostics require more than simply running a camera through a pipe — accurate leak detection depends on understanding system layout, pipe condition, flow behavior, odor pathways, and failure indicators. Articulating cameras allow us to visually inspect interior piping, drain systems, and concealed spaces to document conditions and help identify the source of the issue. We offer a full line of sewer inspection and diagnostic services, including camera inspections, smoke testing, UV dye testing, gas replacement testing, and more to support clear, documented findings.
Signs You May Have A Hidden Water Leak
Hidden leaks can raise bills and damage walls, floors, ceilings, foundations, and landscaping. If you notice warning signs, professional leak detection can find the source fast.
High Water Bills
A sudden increase in your water bill may point to a hidden leak or continuous water loss.
Damp Walls Or Floors
Moisture spots, soft flooring, or wet walls may indicate water moving behind surfaces.
Ceiling Stains
Discoloration or bubbling paint can be a warning sign of water leaking above the room.
Mold Or Musty Odors
Persistent odors or visible mold can happen when hidden moisture remains untreated.
Running Water Sounds
Hearing water when fixtures are off may mean there is a leak inside the plumbing system.
Soggy Lawn Areas
Wet grass, pooling water, or soft ground may indicate an underground water line leak.

Frequently Asked Questions
What signs may indicate a hidden water leak?
Common signs include unusually high water bills, damp walls or floors, ceiling stains, mold or musty odors, sounds of running water, soggy lawn areas, and unexplained water meter movement.
To prevent costly damages, our advanced services are essential for homeowners and businesses alike.
Do you need to dig to find a leak?
Most can be located using advanced non-invasive equipment and diagnostic methods. Depending on the type of leak, the system involved, and site conditions, we may use acoustic listening equipment, leak correlators, thermal imaging, tracer gas testing, sewer cameras, smoke testing, electronic moisture meters, and ground-penetrating radar to narrow down the most probable source without unnecessary demolition or excavation.
Our process is designed to identify the leak as accurately as possible before any digging, cutting, or repair work begins. This helps property owners, plumbers, contractors, insurance adjusters, and facility managers make informed decisions and avoid unnecessary damage.
In some situations, minimal invasive verification may be recommended to confirm the exact location. This may include a small access opening, controlled pressure testing, isolation testing, or targeted exposure of a suspected area. These methods are only used when necessary and are intended to verify findings, reduce uncertainty, and support a more targeted repair.
Do you service residential and commercial properties?
Yes. We provide professional services for homes, businesses, commercial buildings, fire lines, sewer systems, irrigation systems, pools, water mains, and more. If it has the ability to leak, finding it is our business.

What tools are used for finding leaks?
Our leak detection investigations are driven by a comprehensive suite of advanced, non-invasive technologies designed to identify even the most concealed water and utility leaks. This includes high-sensitivity acoustic ground microphones and multi-sensor leak noise correlators to detect and analyze leak signatures within pressurized systems; tracer gas injection systems paired with precision gas analyzers to locate leaks that cannot be heard acoustically; FLIR thermal imaging cameras to visualize temperature anomalies associated with moisture migration; ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to map subsurface conditions, confirm utility pathways, and identify voids or moisture-affected zones; electromagnetic line locators to trace buried metallic and tracer-wire utilities; sewer inspection cameras and articulating cavity cameras to visually inspect interior piping and concealed building spaces; and professional-grade moisture meters to quantify moisture content in structural materials. We continuously invest in emerging technology, calibration, and advanced training to ensure we remain at the forefront of professional leak detection and subsurface diagnostics.
What Is the Difference Between Subsurface Leak Detection and an American Leak Detection Franchise?
Subsurface Leak Detection of Colorado is an independent, Colorado-based leak detection and water diagnostics company — not a national franchise, not a plumbing company, and not a contractor working on behalf of insurance companies. We work for you, the property owner, manager, municipality, contractor, or party that retained us.Because we are independent, our approach is not limited to a franchise model, standardized checklist, preferred vendor agreement, or one-size-fits-all testing process. Every property and water system is different, and our investigations are guided by the site conditions, system materials, symptoms, and available access at the time of inspection.We use a whole-system diagnostic approach that may include acoustic testing, leak correlation, tracer gas, thermal imaging, GPR, moisture mapping, sewer camera inspection, smoke testing, and other specialized methods when appropriate. Our goal is not simply to “find a leak,” but to understand the system, verify the source, and provide clear findings that can be relied on by property owners, contractors, municipalities, and insurance professionals.We also do not perform plumbing repairs. That means our findings are independent and not influenced by repair work, excavation work, upselling replacement services, or insurance company relationships. Our role is to identify the problem, document the conditions, and help you move forward with accurate information.
